Continuity mistake: When Mc Murphy is strangling the nurse at the end, from above his hat is lying on the floor, but when you see the shot from her angle, he is wearing it again. (01:56:55)
Continuity mistake: George's collar on his leather jacket is sometimes up, down or somewhere in between, in successive shots within a particular scene, depending on the camera angle. Additionally, his long neck scarf changes position numerous times, in shots following one another within the same scene too. One example is in the salon with Felicia and Jill. (00:18:20)
Continuity mistake: During "Eyesight to the Blind," The Preacher's guitar changes from a red Les Paul to a black Stratocaster. It's not blatantly obvious, but easy enough to spot without slow-mo. (00:26:33 - 00:30:02)
Continuity mistake: Pooter's hair was cut in the scene where they sneaked out of class to go to the zoo, but when they got to the zoo his hair was grown out.
Continuity mistake: In the scene in which they discuss Sylvia smoking, the paper on the table is different between shots. In the shots of Sylvia there is some paper near the can on the left. In the shots of Sal, the paper is not there. (01:03:00)
Continuity mistake: As Blood tries to persuade Vic not to follow Quilla June into the Down Under, he is hopping with his broken right leg raised. In the circle he makes after Vick stops, he puts his weight on the leg for two different steps without ill effects or complaints. (00:53:55)
Continuity mistake: When Doyle arrives at the dock at the beginning of the movie, we see Doyle from behind. A boy with a yellow shirt and a girl with a flower dress pass him on his right side. However, there is a change of shot, and now we see him from the front, and behind him we see the boy and the girl, but instead of being at his right side, they're at his left.
Continuity mistake: Barry is introduced to Gustavas Adolphis, the 13th Earl of Wendover, by Lord Hallam, to help him obtain a title. In the receiving line to meet Your Majesty, another man is introduced as Lord Neville, yet later when Barry is eating in a restaurant and runs into the 13th Earl of Wendover, he calls him Lord Neville. It seems his name should be either Lord Wendover, as he was called previously, or Lord Adolphis, as we learned that his real name was from Lord Hallam.
Continuity mistake: During the car chase sequence with the Mustang, the headlight of the Mustang gets broken. A subsequent shot in the chase shows the headlight unbroken, and then the following shot reveals the headlight is broken again.
Continuity mistake: When Fanny and Billy are talking in his club about the possibility of Fanny performing some of his songs, Fanny is smoking a cigarette held in a long holder in her left hand. There is a shot change, showing Fanny from the back for a few moments, then back to a front view. Her cigarette holder is now gone, and the cigarette is in her right hand. While there might have been time for her to remove the cigarette from the holder and transfer it to the other hand, when the camera is showing her from the back, she is holding completely still. She would have made at least a slight motion if she were removing the cigarette from the holder and switching hands.
Continuity mistake: In the acupuncture parlour, when Sylvia Kristel begins masturbating, the needles are gone from her nipples and are nowhere in sight. (00:33:05 - 00:34:35)
Continuity mistake: After the cage fight, Chick Gandil gives Speed the money putting it in his right hand. Next shot and Coburn pulls back...his left hand. (00:53:40)
Continuity mistake: The line of traffic on the landing side of Tower Bridge is completely different to when the jaguar lands and the capri lands.
Continuity mistake: In the opening interview with the trucker, the wide shots with him leaning against the grill show just a few thin hair out of position. In the close-ups he sports much messier hair with large curl out of place in the middle of the forehead. (00:00:50)
